Hi Stanislav

I think there's two ways you can do this... if you want to go down the
Forms route you actually want to be looking at Formsets [1], which
allow you to have a 'grid' of forms in a table with one row
representing each object.

If that seems like a steep learning curve to get your head around, and
you just want to try a quick-and-dirty approach, then you'd want a
loop in your template like {% for book in books %} ... {% endfor %}
then inside the loop build a <tr> for each item. If you make the first
tag in each row something like <select type="checkbox"
name="selected_book_id" value="{{ book.id }}" /> then follow it with
the other data fields, and have all of that wrapped in <form> ... </
form> tags, obviously, then you should be able to get the list of
checked options in your view by reading
request.POST.getlist(selected_book_id).

Hope this helps!
Sophie
